Cruise Travel began after the invention of the steam engine in the 1700s which made for faster ships and reduced travel times across the oceans. For the first time passengers could enjoy the comforts of cruise travel.

MS Oasis of the Seas, the worldâ€™s largest cruise liner, set off on her maiden voyage on 5 December 2009. Oasis of the Seas heralds a new era in the cruise liner industry: custom built megaliners that are more like floating cities.
